Do you have a fever with mono?
My teenage son has been feeling very tired and has a sore throat. The doctor mentioned testing for mononucleosis. I'm wondering, if it is mono, does it always come with a fever, or can you have it without one?

Yes, fever is actually one of the main symptoms of mono, along with a really bad sore throat and feeling incredibly tired. I always get so anxious reading about these viruses online. Please try not to stress too much and get a simple blood test done to see what is going on.

I have been running a mild fever and feeling totally drained for a week now, and my doctor mentioned mono. Did anyone else here experience a fever that lasted for days with mono? It is really making me worry a lot.

Please do not ignore a persistent fever with mono. I had it a few years ago and ignored the symptoms, which led to liver inflammation and severe weakness that took months to recover from. Go see a doctor immediately and get rested.

Mono, or infectious mononucleosis, typically presents with a triad of fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. My physician explained that the fever can sometimes last for one to two weeks as the body fights the virus. It's critical to get a proper medical diagnosis and avoid heavy lifting to protect your spleen.

Fever is very common with mono, but you shouldn't guess or self-diagnose. When I had unexplained fever and fatigue, I went to a reputed hospital and they ran a specific blood panel for Mononucleosis. Please consult a qualified doctor to get the right tests done.
